Community Information:SETTLING IN

Moving to a new home can be a hectic process as it is, making the move to an entirely new community, city, or state even more overwhelming. There are a few things you need to remember to do when settling into your new home other than unloading all the furniture and unpacking the boxes. Setting up your utilities is definitely a priority--no one wants to walk into their new home to find there is no electricity or running water. Getting hooked up with cable, internet, is also a part of getting settled into your new home, as is finding out about trash service. To stay connected with your community, know which local news stations and publications to tune in to and take the kids to get a library card. Lastly, don't forget to visit the county clerk's office to have your address changed on your ID. If you have moved to a new address in Kentucky ID needs to be updated within 10 days, if you have moved to Kentucky from out of state, you must update your ID within 30 days.

Below is a list of references you may find helpful as you move into your new home.
